1. Contact your tutor or teacher: Contact your tutor or thesis advisor as soon as possible to explain why you failed to submit it on time. Explain the situation honestly, express regret for unfinished work and determination to remedy it as soon as possible.

2. Seek guidance: When communicating with tutors or teachers, ask them if they can provide some guidance or suggestions to help you finish the first draft of your paper as soon as possible. They may give some suggestions on how to organize papers, improve writing skills or process data.

3. Learn a lesson: Learn a lesson from this experience and reflect on why you didn't finish the first draft of the paper on time. Is it due to improper time management, lack of planning or other reasons? Through reflection and summing up experience and lessons, similar problems can be avoided from happening again.
